I cook them all sorts of ways too. The bottom line is that I am allergic to some of them. Some cause hives such as oranges, lemons, et al, and other's just violently upset my innards. I eat a rotational diet that occasionally includes some of the things that cause hives. When life get's really bad, I revert to rice.

Also, I think people have been predicting this for the last 40 years.

Many of the theories sound plausible.

I read Peak Everything and that worries me equally. This country has so many problems and fewer easy answers. We will hang on a little longer but I'm afraid for my children and grandchildren.

They are just beginning to go to college and they are quite focused, more than I was at their age. I help them when I can. Our country needs to be education minded.

Personally, I doubt it. I keep reminding people that computers are a tool. They work for us; we don't work for them. And I'm betting on human creativity, ingenuity and resourcefulness to work around the tyranny of technology.

I do know that about five years ago I began thinking how important it was that my grandchildren could get a higher education and we had to try to help. We began putting away money toward that end. <br /><br />From the beginning I had decided any profits from my books would go to their education.

Pandora's box has been opened and there is no closing it. I am glad that I am old, but I fear for my children and grandchildren and the generations to follow.
